Oh Yes, I prelubed everything and primed the oil pump then used a drill to run the oil pump to get oil flowing thru the whole engine, also oil fogged the cylinders and just stuck an old set of plugs in till he gets the engine in and ready to fire. I just hope he isn't too long getting the trans rebuilt before installing engine and starting. I don't like to leave an engine set too long after a rebuild before it gets run. It really depends on his wallet right now.God Bless, Beth and Allen.
